WESTFIELD ifutended for last week) The Farm Forum was held on Mon- day evening at the home of Mr, and Mrs, Walton Cook with a good at- tendance, After the radio broadcast the group discussed the questions on what steps should be taken by Canada to show Asiatic countries that our attitude to them is friendly and non, aggressive, The groups decided we should send to Asia our surplus food and also missionaries, doctors and specialists in other lines to show the people how to make better use of what they have in the line of natural resources, This should be a govern, ment project. We should also show the. Asiatic people in our country that we are willing to share our heritage with them. It was decided we could convince others that the democratic way of life is better than the communistic way by having young people of other countries visit our country and, see for themselves what democracy really is like, and when they go home they would be good missionaries for our way of life, One thing they would be sure to notice is the long unguarded border line between Canada and the United States, which would be an im- possibility in Communist countries. The Forum will meet on December 7th at the home of Mrs, 3. L. Mc- Dowell with recreation in charge of Gordon McDowell, The recreation on Monday night was in charge of Mrs. Walter Cook, Lunch was served and a social time spent.

The driver failed to see him. Subsequent investigation revealed a broken street light at the scene of the accident. Remember, street lights are placed there for everyone's convenience and protection. Motorists hcive less chance to see pedestrians in a dim light; people on foot are. more likely to stumble and fall. Replacing broken street lights costs thousands of dollars each year.
